Christmas will soon be here. Seems like the year has just flown by. And so many many changes in the last year.
I left nursing homes to pursue a career with developmentally disabled adults and love it. I've celebrated a year in my new career this year and love every minute of it.
Justin and I celebrated a year together and look forward to many many more.
Brittany turned 18, got her drivers license, her first car, her first job and will graduate this year with honors and 100+ hours of community service hours she's given to her school and her community.
Brian and Chris put in many hours of commuity service also and have rediscovered their love of Chess and Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments lol.
Most of all though, I've learned to live again, To have a life , to see people and how to be happy again. Something I'd lost in years past.
I've learned the true meaning of Family and Friends in the past year. Mom and I are closer than ever. I have regular conversations with my dad again. My kids TALK to me again. It's amazing the differences in my thoughts and actions this past year.
I've listened to so many ppl whine and complain this holiday season and I just wanna shake em and make em see there is so much more to life than what u get or give this christmas. Tell someone u love them. Help a friend in need. Offer an hour of babysitting to the single mom , who works long hours to support her child. Sit and visit with the elderly neighbor u know on sight but don't know. Don't sweat the little stuff. Life is to short.
I seem to be rambling all over the place tonight but it so many ways I feel like the last year has been a rebirth for me and just to be able to share all my happiness with others is awesome.
And as always,
Justin, Mom, Rick, Kids , Kathy , and so many more.......
I love you guys!!!!!!!!! You're what's makes my life so full of love and happiness.
Merry Christmas
